Gender Balance and Women Representation in contemporary playwriting
To speak of gender discrimination in entertainment is also to speak of discrimination present in many professional sectors. In other words, it reflects a broader process of social inequality that permeates society at large, compromising the emancipation and empowerment of women and other disadvantaged groups in daily life.
How, then, can we build lasting change? And more importantly, how can we contribute to it in our daily professional practice within live entertainment, particularly in creative fields?
These are the questions that frame this research, starting from the experience of Fabulamundi New Voices as a model for analysis. The aim is not only to suggest good practices, but also to propose a new approach to gender inequality: one that recognises inclusive transformation of the collective imaginary as an essential prerequisite for institutional interventions.
